The trilingual bank name — in German, French, and Italian — appears across the face alongside the date "1 JANUAR 1918," three signature lines with role designations, and the designer's imprint "S. BALZER" with the printer's name at the lower margin; the initials T.W. and R.K. appear at lower left and lower right respectively. The denomination "100" is repeated in each corner within ornate cartouches.

Reverse description Printed in blue over a pale olive-green guilloche underprint, the reverse is centred on a large oval intaglio vignette of the Jungfrau massif, with a mountain stream and conifer forest in the foreground. The oval is encircled by the trilingual bank name legend in German, French, and Italian, while large ornate numeral "100" medallions set within elaborate lathe-work borders occupy each corner. A Swiss cross within a cartouche appears at the top centre of the composition.
